JME Book Week!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from today's "Book Character Parade."

 Here is my son and a few of his classmates. He was, of course, Harry Potter.

Here is the rockin' Ms. Foster as Max from "Where the Wild Things Are."

Josh as Harry.  Accio, picture!

Atiana and Isabel looking beautiful!

Ms. Moten et al.

The fabulous Mrs. Blocker!

Quidditch-player extraordinaire... Paul! (along with Julia and Ms. Walker)

Mia (my daughter) as Fancy Nancy, me as Pinkalicious, and Will as Harry Potter. To the right of us... London, Denise and Zanaya! :-)

And last but not least.... Evan!

Kindergarten snowmen!

Brrrr!

(some of the students have "crazy hair" since it was "crazy hair and socks" day at school!

Barbies as Art

Well, look who is showing up on the shelves in time for Christmas! I don't like dolls, but these I would buy!  They're gorgeous!

Anyone have a wood shop?!?!?

These would be the COOLEST organizer for our art room! Lids stay put, and the kids know exactly where to put the markers. No more dried out markers!

Of course they cost a small fortune... unless a JME parent or grandparent has a wood shop? We only need 8 of them!

*fingers crossed*

This is the "Rat Pack" using up leftover paint. (The "Rat Pack" is the group of teachers' kids that scurry from classroom to classroom after school).

Color theory

Here are some of my enthusiastic - but LOUD - fifth graders!

Blinging Out Our Dia de Los Muertos Calaveras

1st Grade

McTeacher Night TONIGHT! (Hwy 84)

Okay, Hinesvillains... come to McD's on 84 and buy food between 5 pm - 8 pm. Joseph mART!n elementary gets 20% of all sales (that's from drive-thru and eat-in). The money will go to field trips. All of us teachers will be there working. I'll be there from 5 pm - 6pmish. Come say hi to me, at least!

Dia de Los Muertos symmetry skulls

Muy bien!



I taught them how to draw perfectly symmetrical skulls: fold a piece of drawing paper in half, draw half a skull, outline it with black crayon, and then draw on the back with pencil. The wax "transfers" to the other side so that the skulls are perfectly symmetrical.
